It had been weeks since Lilah had disappeared. Two months actually and Irianke had not noticed the time passing until she sat on her chaise at the end of another long day with a book, a glass of wine, and the fire already necessary to keep her massive weyr warm.

She sat, enjoying this brief moment of just her time that she always took before a night out, sipping, reading, and savoring both the wine and the words on the page. Her hair was done, her make up just needed touch ups, and the dress she'd planned to wear tonight to a masquerade at Benden Hold hanging, freshly pressed by her latest in the long series of summer assistants.

And though she, and many before her, had read and heard this story many a time, in this reading something twinged and she reread that same page over and over again. Again. And again. Like a bolt, she got to her feet, her hurried steps carrying that restraint borne from turns of self-control, and stood at her table to rifle through the stacks of correspondances and papers there that had already been read and responded to.

All except one. That final, cryptic message, one that made sense now and made sense as to who had sent it.

The one thing sure to cause a dragon to rise is time.

Irianke sunk into her chair, rereading that one line over and over again and exhaling. A small smile formed on her mouth and she got up to change out of her robe and into her riding leathers.

There would be no dancing tonight. There were things to be done, and most of all, above everything else, Irianke needed the guarantee of more time.
